This is rather difficult knit since there are yarn overs on the wrong side, so I made lot of mistakes - partly due to my combined knitting method and partly due to the pattern being difficult for me. I am not very pleased with the result and it's a bit smaller that I expected, but otherwise it's very nice shawl.

Colorway: Rusted blood bond OOAK

The colour of this yarn is one of most beautiful things I have ever seen. Thank to my friend’s help I was able to make this easier cast on - Galathea’s beginning:
cast on 7;
(WS) k3, p1, k3 (7 stitches);
(RS) k3, yo, place marker, k1, yo, k3 (9 stitches);
(WS) k3, p3, k3
repeat rows:
(RS) k3, yo, k until m, yo, slip marker, k1, yo, k until 3 sts to the end, yo, k3 (13 sts, 4 sts are added in each row);
(WS) k3, p until 3 sts to the end, k3

I stopped with stockinette part at 261 stitches and continued with the 3rd repeat of lace pattern. That means I started lace pattern at row 25, made it to 38. Than I repeated rows 23-38 2 more times each time increasing the count of repeats of pattern in brackets appropriately.
I made a mistake in the lace pattern so there are two extra ribbed rows :)
Beads (non-transparent Miyuki and Toho glass beads) were added according to Lolotte1409’s Golden project. 

I did picot bind off with crochet hook (2mm).
It grew while blocking and it looks really stunning!

I made different ending - only one row of light ending that was in the pattern and then another improvised row to add beads (single, double and treble crochets to create the pointy edges). Miyuki glass beads, non transparent.
I made about 20 mistakes, but didn’t unravel and correct them :) I never do unless it seriously damages the result.

Platinum Eva

Crocheted triangular lace shawl, made of delicate and very soft silk yarn.

Name: Platinum Eva
Pattern: Eva's Shawl by milobo
Craft: Crochet
Hook: 3.5 mm (E)
Yarn: DyeForYarn Lace // 8ply Silk - new version
How much?: 1 skeins = 820.0 yards (749.8m)
Colorway: Platinum blossom OOAK
Status: gift already given

At the end I added one extra edge row with beads. They are almost invisible since they are made of transparent glass of light violet color. But they will probably glitter in the light.

The pattern was very easy. I remembered it immediately. I also enjoyed crocheting this, maybe because it is my first lace and the yarn is fantabulous (though I stick only to tussah silk from now on, poor silkworms). The yarn is variegated and the simple pattern suits it well.

Color is beautiful deep slightly subdued teal with silky luster. Tussah silk makes the yarn a bit fuzzy.
I have added a shell edging at both ends and Myiuki beads.
